Netflix - General Discussion

Thought i'd make an individual board for this since Netflix has sort of become a creative powerhouse for original tv shows, movies, and documentaries (along with being just a regular streaming service). Share your recommendations, express your opinions on new shows, rate netflix originals, and be shameless about how many hours you spend binge watching your old school favourites (Full House & Fresh Prince FTW).

just finished watching the new Netflix documentary "Amanda Knox", obviously about her media circus of an italian trial, and it was amazing!!! I really didn't know much about the case going in, except for the fact that I knew she was accused of murdering her roommate and that she got off. But that was about it. To see all the sloppy investigation work with real footage, the insane media that followed the case causing public outcries, hearing the key players actual testimonies and phone conversations, as well as their own points of view to this day, was really eye opening and very unbiased. They definitely leave it up to the viewer to decide their stance on the murder, which I like since the whole thing reminded me a lot of "making a murderer" (another great show that everyone needs to watch if you love documentaries about murder haha).

For me personally, I believe in her innocence, and the fact that she was in jail in a foreign country for 4 years for a crime she did not commit is absolutely terrifying.

I've watched a couple North Korean documentaries and they are extremely fascinating. The level of oppression and brainwashing that the government has on these people is sad but I'm glad an American group got access to come in the country and expose it.

but actually!!! i've been dying to watch this adaption, especially with Handler writing the scripts. Those were my favourite books as a kid and I always hate that they only adapted the first 3 for the big screen. I still enjoy watching the Jim Carrey version, despite them ******* up the storyline aha

"It smells more Chinese now. A bit sweet n sour" I'm crying, this man went to the local restaurants and he's disgusted how they eat insects as starters and he's going off

"look at her, just look at the way she's looking at the insect before stuffing her face. Should I eat the head or the **** first. What does she do when she wakes up and sees a spider in the bath? 'Oh good, I'll just save the croissant for tomorrow, I'll eat that now.'"

"they don't even have doors, what if someone is in the middle of taking one and someone walks in? And no toliet paper? So what do you do? Just pull your pants up and walk on? I'm not saying they need toliet paper, if that's what they do that's what they do. I just didn't know that, I didn't think China was gonna be like this. I thought this is where they made the iPod." Omggjeowlwlowh

"I think I got the wrong place, cause this ain't the place where they need an iPod"

"It was heavily restored in the 50's and 80's. So the old stuff is gone? So it doesn't count. you can't call this a wonder if you built something on top of it, if it's not what it says on the tin. What I'm looking at is basically a Whimpy home."

"What's this all about? They have bears here? It's almost like they knew the wall wasn't that good so they threw them here. Look at the driver, he's getting into it he's throwing fruits at the Bears. Tbh, I feel like jumping in there it's the first normal food I've seen here. If that was a toad with a tumor on its head I'm sure he'll be having a mouthful."
